Tesseract Elevate
Built for contractors who need more than a turnkey solution and a bunch of tools. Elevate provides flexibility, advanced integrations, and scalable cybersecurity programs aligned to CMMC, NIST 800-171, DFARS, and beyond.
Tesseract Elevate is Ardalyst’s fully tailored compliance and cybersecurity program. Designed for organizations with more complex environments or long-term growth needs, Elevate goes beyond quick-start compliance by building a cybersecurity program that fits the way your business actually operates.

Why Choose Elevate
Tailored for Your Environment
Every Elevate enclave is built around how your business actually operates. Whether you’re hybrid, cloud-first, or still managing on-prem systems, we design a program that fits seamlessly into your workflows.
Flexible Service Levels
Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, Elevate gives you the choice of service levels. You can keep IT in-house with expert support from Ardalyst, or outsource more operations to reduce overhead.
Advanced Integrations
From ERP and MES systems to supply-chain tools and legacy applications, Elevate can incorporate the platforms your business depends on. This ensures compliance doesn’t break the processes that keep your business running.
Scalable for Growth
As contracts expand and requirements change, Elevate grows with you. Whether it’s adding users, supporting new programs, or meeting stricter requirements, Elevate provides a foundation that scales.
Comprehensive Documentation & Governance
Elevate includes full documentation—SSPs, POAMs, IR plans, policies—and ongoing governance support, so your compliance posture stays aligned over time, not just at deployment.
Continuous Compliance
Elevate tracks the Six Sources of Change™—threats, regulations, policies, technology, organizational shifts, and business goals—to ensure you’re always prepared for your next audit or assessment.
